Anyone know which is better? 8081 or 8290 I know 8290 is the newer model but which one would you recommend? Are there any flaws with the "newer model"

I am not a barber by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been cutting my hair for the last 25 years or so. I've used Andis Outliners for the past 25 years and I decided to try something different over the last year or so. I got tired of the Andis clippers getting hot. I tried the 8081s and they cut just fine and I only decided to get the 8290s because I saw where someone on Youtube say that the 8290s have metal screw holes, so stripping out the screw holes wouldn't likely happen. The 8290s cut fine as well. I'd recommend a T-Wide blade and you may have to adjust them to get a closer cut. I also like the Wahl Hero clippers and the Andis Superliners. I use the Superliners the most, followed by the Heros (I shave with them). I have sensitive skin and the 8290s and 8081 tend to agitate my skin if I use them too frequently. However, they work fine on my son.

I used the 8081(burgundy color) and the reason that I switched to the 8290(new model) was on the 8081 the piece of plastic that holds the blades in place broke off. Maybe the reason behind that is that I dropped them a few times. Anyhow, I really like the newer model. They feel lighter on my hand so that's a plus.

CNET just reviewed the new 890, and they seem to prefer the 850. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sd890-is/4505-6501_7-32896596.html?tag=prod.txt.1 I was at the same point as you, and will be interested to hear what others think.

The 8050 is 3 years newer. The 8255 appeared by fall of 2008. The 8050 by spring of 2011. The 8255 is now no longer in production but available new from some sellers for more than the 8050. The 8050 specs are way better and so is the versatility beyond the network capability bringing Internet radio to a home receiver. The networking capability was the most obvious innovation in the 8050 and tends to obscure the much better specs including 30 more watts per channel.

You're in luck then! The 16GB version should be out in April. Longer battery life and a slightly bigger screen. Can't wait. If only they put gapless back like the 808 :((((

AFAIK, the 82X supports the 1.25 meter band but not the 70 cm band, and the 82 supports the 70 cm band but not the 1.25 meter band, and that's all the difference I can see...everything else appears to be exactly identical.

i believe the 810 has a glass front and the 800 is plastic, thus the weight difference also

The -95 has an LCD display, the -85 does not. The -85 has indicator lights instead. Otherwise they're the same. It's your choice whether the LCD display is worth the extra money.The 89XX series advertises better cutters and foil than the previous 85XX series. The body configurations are the same, though, so you can upgrade an 85XX (Activator) body with an 89XX (360 Complete) cutter & foil set. I've done this myself, and saved the cost of buying a whole new shaver just to get the new cutter & foil.

I saw that too...I'm not sure what that's about. I don't think it's any different than the other 901s except for the color and other minor differences (keyboards feel different between the black and white models). I'd also like to know what is making it $619 when the other 901s are $275...

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar. Thanks.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

They may not be producing the 800 model anymore; hence the price for the older model is higher. I ordered the 800 and reviewed the 800 - there was no 850 product on Amazon at that time. However, I actually received the 850. I recommend the 850 strongly.

I dont know anything about the 891, but the 708 is quite similar to the 608 I have, except with some extra juice and ethernet capabilities.Dont worry about the overheating, those were on the old 607 and 707 models. My 608 remains perfectly cool after hours of use!

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

I currently just purchased the VSX-33 Elite model and I am curious as to whether or not to switch for the VSX-1021 or not. Does anyone have extensive information as to why I should choose one over the other. Thank you....

I'm on the same struggle but after I took a closer look at the bad reviews of the 8109 I discovered what seems to be a trend, the LCD fails after a few months. That doesn't seems to be a problem with the 8243.If the bad reviews come from long term users that should be an indication!

Hi Devon, so what conclusion do you have. I am with the same problem. Is 827 3 times bigger than 809 and the 819 2 times bigger than 809? Thanks for any help
